I just found out my girlfriend has HPV (as determined by some abnormal cell growth on her cervix). We've been together for several months now and have been engaging in unprotected sex (although we had STD tests beforehand, apparently HPV wasn't detected). This includes both intercourse and oral sex.
Now I'm worried I may be infected with HPV as well -- highly probable -- and will begin seeing warts on in my genital area and/or face. Frankly, I'm freaked. They are ugly and I'd be absolutely mortified and depressed.
What are the changes of this happening? Is it inevitable? I'm going to be paranoid now, checking myself constantly for any sign of cauliflower like growth.
